Nope you are correct. What you’re describing is the process of writing a sequel properly in a way that addresses previous threads and consolidates earlier details. Unlike TROS which is just a shambles.
What they needed to do was:
- Bring back Rey’s visions and work out the details of the saber connection
- Address what exactly was awakened in The Force… Awakens… and why Snoke cared
- Finished the Rey and Kylo arc in a meaningful way, in particular the idea that Rey was desperate for belonging and Kylo rejected it
- Explicitly say that Palpatine funded the First Order to forward his plans
- Explicitly say that Palpatine used his foreknowledge of the Dyad to forward his plans
- Explicitly say what Snoke was doing and how this gave Palpatine a good reason to exist in this trilogy
- Actually write a story about family instead of just having Carrie’s soundbite become a joke
- Finish the potential of a First Order vs Final Order conflict
- Finish the potential of Finn vs Kylo or by extension his former death squad team members
- Or just actually write a script that fills out the trilogy in a nice interwoven triangular format instead of it being three disparate movies. Is this so hard? How can a corporation with so much time and money make such a mess, when just 5 minutes typing this on the fly offers a better outline?
